Numpy is mainly used for python multidimension array. It is open source package, we can use it freely. if we talk about arrays Python has list for that, so the is why we use numpy? yes, we are using numpy because it aims to provide an array object, up to 50x faster than the Python lists.

Why NumPy is faster than Python List? NumPy arrays are stored at one place in memory unlike Python lists, so processes can access and manipulate them very efficiently.
